Acknowledgements
Care takes many hands. To each one, thank you.
Behind every project are time, trust, expertise and gestures that often go unseen. This space is dedicated to those who choose to value life and walk alongside us.
Trust leaves a lasting mark.
The expertise that supports our journey.
Some people help an idea take shape; others nurture its growth; others stand beside us in caring for animals. To each, we offer thanks rooted in shared experience.
GIVING SHAPE TO A VISION
Studio Notarile D’Urso
Our sincere thanks go to Studio Notarile D’Urso and, in particular, to notary Antonio D’Urso for the expertise and care with which he supported us in drafting the Statutes.
Turning a vision into a concrete commitment takes listening, precision and sensitivity. Thank you for believing in the project, embracing the innovative approach of our Statutes and helping give solid form to the values behind The Guardians of the Earth Foundation.
TRUST AND RESPONSIBILITY
Studio Cateni
We express our gratitude to Marco Cateni, accountant and auditor, for believing in the project and offering his professional expertise to the Foundation on a pro bono basis.
The diligence and generosity with which he has embraced this vision are a precious source of support. Thank you for your trust and for the attention given to a journey that seeks to grow with responsibility and transparency.
A PRESENCE IN OUR CARE, FOR AROUND TWENTY YEARS
Clinica Veterinaria Casale sul Sile · Dr Diego Cattarossi
We offer our heartfelt thanks to Clinica Veterinaria Casale sul Sile and, in particular, to Dr Diego Cattarossi for supporting us in the management and care of tortoises for around twenty years.
This journey began long before the Foundation was established: an experience of care and responsibility towards animals, supported over time by veterinary expertise and a willingness to exchange ideas.
Thank you for your enduring presence and your contribution to the culture of care from which our commitment today has grown.
SUPPORTING CARE, SHARING KNOWLEDGE
MemGroup.eu
Our sincere thanks go to MemGroup.eu for its substantial donations towards the Ethical Sanctuary project and for choosing to support the Foundation in communicating its mission.
MemGroup has embraced the project’s values and developed marketing and outreach partnerships that introduce new people to the Foundation’s work: through information flyers accompanying orders and deliveries from its e-commerce websites, and through its physical shop.
This support brings together resources and relationships: it helps shape the Sanctuary and shares the culture of respect behind it. Thank you for your trust and for making room for this vision in your everyday work.
EXPERTISE PUT INTO PRACTICE
Termoidraulica Brutocao
Our sincere thanks go to Termoidraulica Brutocao for its contribution to the design and installation of the plumbing systems in the Pilot Sanctuary prototype.
Caring for a place also means attending to what is not immediately visible. Thank you for putting your expertise at the service of the Sanctuary’s needs and helping us turn the project into practical solutions.
A CONTRIBUTION TO PROTECTION
Elektrosystem
We express our gratitude to Elektrosystem for its contribution to installing the video surveillance and security systems in the Pilot Sanctuary prototype.
Protecting this place is part of our responsibility towards the animals who live here. Thank you for supporting the project with your expertise and helping put this commitment into practice.
GIVING VOICE TO OUR MISSION
Segnodo
Our sincere thanks go to Segnodo for designing, building and bringing the website of The Guardians of the Earth Foundation ETS online, contributing expertise, time and creativity pro bono, without payment.
Thank you for believing in our mission and translating it into a welcoming, distinctive digital space, with carefully chosen words and images. This generous contribution helps us share the Foundation’s projects and meet new people with whom to continue this journey.
A shared responsibility
Not everything that matters can be measured.
A financial contribution can help a project move forward. Expertise can strengthen a decision. Accurate content can change how someone sees an animal. These are different contributions: none, on its own, encompasses the full meaning of care.
Our gratitude does not follow a ranking of amounts or visibility. It recognises the intention, responsibility and respect with which each person chooses to be involved.
To our Guardians and donors
For trust that opens up possibilities.
Thank you to everyone who supports the Foundation’s mission with a contribution, large or small, occasional or recurring. The value of your gesture lies not only in the resources it provides, but in the trust it asks us to deserve.
To those who share their expertise
For care in the less visible decisions, too.
Thank you to those who offer a listening ear, experience and professional attention. A sound organisation is also built on thoughtful questions, carefully prepared documents and decisions approached with diligence.
To those who contribute to knowledge
For words that help us understand.
Thank you to those who propose content, sources and informed contributions, and to those who help make them clear. Authoritative public education grows from accuracy, openness to discussion and respect for the limits of what we know.
To those who make room for this vision
For thoughtful sharing.
Thank you to the people and organisations who share the project while respecting its purpose: without misleading simplifications, exposing the Sanctuary’s location or turning animals into promotional tools.
To those who care, even far from here.
Our thanks also reach those who have no role in the Foundation but share an ethic of responsibility: people who care for the animals they keep, seek knowledge, protect their spaces and recognise when expert help is needed.
It is an expression of solidarity with a choice: to respect another life without asking it to resemble our own.
Recognise contributions. Respect people.
Those who support the project may choose to remain private. Our gratitude does not depend on publishing their names.
